Menthol sauna scent vs. traditional sauna scents – what's the difference?
Sauna scents are a great way to add extra sensations to your sauna experience and create just the right atmosphere for relaxation. The most popular options are traditional sauna scents and menthol-based scents. But how do they differ from each other, and which one is better for you?
Traditional sauna scents
Traditional sauna scents, such as eucalyptus, birch, juniper and citrus, are often based on essential oils or natural extracts. They are added to the sauna water, releasing a pleasant scent into the sauna. The duration and effect of the sauna scent is usually momentary and quickly passes.
Benefits:
- A wide range of different scents to choose from to find your favorite
- Natural ingredients that can bring well-being and relaxation
- Soft and natural scent that creates a harmonious atmosphere in the sauna
Sauna Menthol sauna scent
Sauna Menthol is completely different from traditional sauna scents in both its effects and composition. Menthol crystals or menthol-based liquid sauna scents offer a strong and refreshing feeling that opens the airways and gives sauna bathing a new dimension.
Benefits:
- A powerful, refreshing effect that helps open the airways
- Cooling sensation on the skin, even when the sauna temperature is high
- Very effective when used in small quantities
- Helps relieve congestion and allergy symptoms
- Stimulates blood circulation, which helps with muscle recovery
- Gives a refreshed and energized feeling after sauna bathing
- May help relieve headaches and stress with its natural cooling effect
Which one to choose?
The choice depends on what kind of sauna experience you are looking for. If you enjoy natural scents and soft aromas, a traditional sauna scent may be a good option. On the other hand, if you are looking for a refreshing and respiratory-opening effect, Sauna Menthol may be just the right choice.
The effect of Sauna Menthol is really long-lasting and continues even after the sauna. It cools and creates a fresh feeling on the skin, which can easily last up to half an hour after the sauna alone. The feeling of aftersweat usually disappears completely, which has been praised a lot in customer feedback. Sauna Menthol is therefore a great sauna scent if you are looking for a long-lasting effect.
The best thing is to try both and find your favorite – or combine scents to get the sauna experience that's just right for you!
